To set up RocketMod permissions on your FREAKHOSTING Unturned server, open Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Rocket/Permissions.config.xml in the File Manager, add the commands a group may use under <Permissions>, save and type /p reload in chat. Then add players to the group in game with /p add <player> <group>, for example /p add Nelson vip. RocketMod is already installed on our servers.

​
Before you start

  • You need admin rights on the server to use /p add and /p reload. See how to become admin.
  • Start the server once so RocketMod creates its files in Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Rocket/.

​
How to give a group a command

1

Open Permissions.config.xml

In the File Manager, open Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Rocket/Permissions.config.xml.
2

Find the group

Find the <Group> with the right <Id>, for example vip.
3

Add the permission

Add a line inside its <Permissions>. The text is the command name; Cooldown is the wait in seconds between uses:
4

Save and reload

Save the file. In game, type /p reload as admin, or restart the server.

​
How to add a player to a group

As an admin, type in chat:
The player must be online, or use their SteamID64 instead of the name. RocketMod writes the change to the file for you. To take someone out of a group:
You can also add the SteamID64 to the group’s <Members> in the file and reload.

​
How to make a new group

Copy an existing <Group> block inside <Groups>, then change <Id>, <DisplayName>, <Members> and <Permissions>. Set <ParentGroup>default</ParentGroup> so the group keeps the basic permissions. See permission groups explained for every field.

How to check a player’s permissions

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why can a player still not use the command?

The permission name doesn’t match the command, the file has an XML error, or you didn’t reload. Use the command’s name exactly, such as v for /v, and type /p reload.

​
How do I let a group use a game command like /kick?

Add the command’s name, kick, or unturned.kick to the group’s permissions.

​
Can I give a group every command?

Yes, with the permission *. Only give it to people you trust as much as an admin.

​
Where do plugin permissions come from?

Each plugin lists its own permission names on its download page. Add them to a group the same way.
